We spoke to an Atos Care patient, Eileen Robinson, who has been using our new generation of HMEs and adhesives, Provox Life. Provox Life is designed to alleviate the challenges of excess mucus and coughing after undergoing a laryngectomy. After using Provox Life for 5 months, we asked Eileen how she found using the new range! Eileen uses both the Go HME and the Night HME for her day and night routine.
Provox Life Night features; excellent humification compared to other HMEs, comfortbale breathability for nightitme breathing as well as soft and smooth for nighttime comfort.
We asked Eileen for her opinion on the Provox Life range, including the Night HME and how this has made a difference to her breathing during her evening/nightime routine.
